It works..have a neighbor into boxing...half my age

Said to him...come spar with me,

First...he didn't expect me to advance at him....so he couldn't throw a decent punch

and he didn't see me slide my cane around his back and give him a light tug into his rib cage with the sharp end of the cane handle

Punching immediately stopped.

In a real situation give a follow up whack with the cane.

Canes, weights, archery ... Sounds like fun!

Which CM cane did you get?

I have several canes from various sources but chiefly from Purpleheart Armoury. Most feature a wood or metal knob consistent with cane fighting systems from the 1890s onward (Barton-Wright’s walking stick method and Cunningham’s “The Cane as a Weapon”).
